Corn and Zucchini Orzo Salad with Goat Cheese

I was looking around for a recipe for a quick and easy weeknight dinner idea. I am loving all the summer produce available right now and wanted to incorporate that in to my meal. I wanted to keep it simple and luckily stumbled upon this recipe. The orzo salad makes an amazing side dish. I grilled some shrimp and added it on top to make a main course out of it. Just toss the shrimp (about 1/2 pound) with the zest of one lime, juice of half a lime, 1 tablespoons olive oil and salt and pepper and grill until cooked through. If you own one, a grill basket will make this step even easier.

Shawarma Marinated Grilled Chicken

Grilling season is officially in full force and I have been looking for some new recipe ideas for quick weeknight dinners. I pretty much love all Middle Eastern and Mediterranean flavored food and started looking for a chicken shawarma marinade. This one is a delicious option. I only had time to let everything marinate for about 45 minutes and it was still delicious. I made this with grilled veggies and a salad. But I have also served it with pita, hummus and zhoug (a spicier Middle Easter green chili sauce). This would also be great with a yogurt sauce with some garlic and seasoning. I pretty much always grill chicken thighs, but feel free to use whatever cut you prefer.
